UK Credit card details sold in India
A criminal gang selling UK credit card details stolen from Indian call centres has been exposed by an undercover BBC News investigation.
Reporters posing as fraudsters bought UK names, addresses and valid credit card details from a Delhi-based man.
The seller denied any wrongdoing and Symantec corporation, from whom three victims bought a product via a call centre, called the incident "isolated".
Card fraud totalled £609m during 2008, according to payments group Apacs.
Symantec said it requires rigorous security measures of any third-party call centre agents and it believed the breach had been limited to a single agent.
The BBC team went to India on a tip off after being put in touch with a man offering to sell stolen credit and debit card details.
Two undercover reporters met the broker in a Delhi coffee shop for an encounter that was filmed secretly.
